The story you've heard before
You're running fast. The board wants growth, the team wants direction, the calendar wants you in three places at once. The right call gets lost in the noise.
You need someone who'll say the hard thing, not the popular one.
That's the work.
I sit with the question. I push when push is needed. I shut up when silence is needed.
How I work
I'm not here to validate the call you've already made. I'm here to make sure the call you make next is the right one. The hard question, asked early, saves a quarter of bad work.
I scaled an operations function from 15 to 180 staff. I know what it feels like at 16-hour days, at the wrong hire, at the deal that almost killed the company. The lived knowledge shapes the question.
Bondi to the CBD, in person where it matters. The walk-and-talk along the Bondi-to-Bronte coastal track has unlocked more clarity than any boardroom I've coached in.
About
Twelve years senior corporate. Ex-COO at a Sydney B2B SaaS scale-up, Series A through Series C, ~15 to 180 staff. I scaled an operations function from founder-led chaos to systems-driven calm.
Left in 2023 to coach the operators I once advised. Three years in, 200+ leaders coached, 3,000+ sessions delivered. Eastern Suburbs base. Cross-harbour for clients in Mosman and North Sydney. CBD when the room demands it.
I work with emerging CEOs, scale-up founders, and senior operators in transition. The corporate-to-founder. The founder-to-CEO. The COO scale-up. The pattern is the same: a smart leader carrying too much, looking for someone to help them think clearly about the next call.
